pulling an esma

To essentially become the biggest anchor known to man. Not even Zeus himself could lift it. Good for shoulder workouts on Thursdays.

Oh wow! You haven't done your part even though you've had more than enough time to complete the task and you have the nerve to show up to group meetings with a straight face? Damn, really pulling an Esma there.

Pull Root

(Verb) To jerk off, to masturbate, to wank, to spank the monkey.

I sat down to write my Aunt Edna an email, but then I ended up pulling root to photos of my ex-girlfriend.

I wish I was a turnip farmer, so I could pull root all day.

pulled a lezak

the act of saving a friend/colleague/fellow olympians ass by pulling off the textbook perfect save of a lifetime. Refers to the 2008 Beijing Olympics in which during the 4 x 100 meter freestyle relay the U.S.A. anchor Jason Lezak overtook his French competitor in epic fashion to win the gold for the US men and make Michael Phelps' 8 gold medals a reality.

Tom: "I am still in shock with how well that meeting went!"
Bob: "Tom, you nailed that presentation! Not only did you save our company from being bought out, but you convinced the investors to kick down another 100 million dollars! You totally pulled a Lezak in there!"
